We three Yogis ventured off to see “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” We were a little apprehensive because it is almost three hours long and some of the reviews I’ve read and people I talked to were a little disappointed that the book is being made into a trilogy and the end just leaves viewers hanging.

Well I totally disagree. There is not a dull moment in the movie from the time the dwarves meet at Bilbo Baggins house to let him know they need his help to go recover their lost kingdom at the Lonely Mountain (just go with me here). After eating all of Bilbo’s food and having a good time they leave with a reluctant Baggins.

From there to the end there is nonstop action fighting off Orcs, Goblins, Trolls in a series of horrific fights and battles. Baggins starts off kind of a bookish timid sort to becoming part of the team.

This movie is great. I can’t wait for the other two movies in the trilogy. I give this movie four stars out of five.
